to want to take child out of the school?

[urwildquoter24]

My DS2 is 13 and in Year 8. He has been excluded many times from his school, for many different reasons. He has been excluded again today, this time permanently and they are sending him this time to their sister school, about 35 minutes away from our house.

Am I being unreasonable to want to find another school?

I think you would be right to accept the managed moved. Clearly your DS needs a fresh start.

Again, you are absolutely right to punish the bad behaviour, make him pay back the money etc but that isn’t going to help you understand why he is behaving this way.

He did not get up one day and think I’m going to be bad and if it has only started more recently, he wasn’t born like it. Can you think of a trigger? Have you sat down and asked why? Can you speak to CAMHS for advice?
